  • Patent number: 5886818
    Abstract: Image compositing apparatus and methodology for the creation, in a defined volume of three-dimensional space, of a composite organization of plural images/visual phenomena, including at least one projected real image, displayed in formats including (a) front-to-rear, (b) side-by-side and (c) overlapping and intersecting, adjacency. The apparatus incorporates different unique arrangements of visual sources, and optical elements including concave reflectors, beam splitters and image-forming/image-transmissive scrim/screen structures. In one important modification of the system, which does not necessarily require compositing, a projected real image is derived from an image-producing data stream containing three-dimensional image cues selected from the group consisting of shading, occlusion, perspective, motion parallax, size vs. depth, light (chroma value) vs. depth and definition vs. depth.

  • Patent number: 4802750
    Abstract: A real image projection system including a pair of facing, off-optical-axis curvilinear reflectors which, with a real object placed at one location along a common optical axis in the system, produce a projected image of the object at another location along the axis. In one form of the system, both curvilinear reflectors are real structures. In another form of the invention, one of the reflectors is real, and other virtual.
